	[b]T[/b]he following day had been filled with traveling by Magi-car. The path taken was smooth and careful to ease the already horrendous stomachache that cramped Sable's gut.  Beside him, Rush rubbed his leg to comfort him, she acquired the habit herself, for some reason having an intense urge to make him feel better. In a way it worked, if only a little, so he didn't mind it or shooed her away. 

	“ [b]T[/b]raveling to Crocus is quite the stretch, Sable-Sable. I'm surprise you're still conscious with how long its been. I'm counting ten, eleven hours of straight road. Are you sure you're okay?”

	[b]T[/b]he Driver's voice agreed. “ [b]T[/b]hat train'n must've really toughn'd ya up, Mi'lord. The first time we rode together, you were barf'n everywhere.”

	[b]S[/b]able used all his energy to grip the edge of the chair in front of him, lifted his chin onto it, and growled his words. [color=red] “[b]A[/b]ye, why dontcha just shut ya trap and drive. I don't won't to be reminded of my past self too early. And call me, Reign once inside Crocus. I don't want anyone hearing the name Sable.”[/color] With a push, he slouched into the seat and groaned from the pain in his stomach. 

	" [b]A[/b]ye, Mi'lord."

	[b]R[/b]ush flew up onto his shoulder and begin to softly rub his forehead. A caw ruptured the silent magi-car. Mooky cleaned its feathers before flickering its still gaze towards the window then back at him. His stare looked alien as if he was trying to discern him through all the changes that had taken place.

	[color=red] “[b]T[/b]hink he's having a hard time recognizing me?”[/color] 

	[b]R[/b]ush hummed thoughtfully before ceasing the forehead rub and floating in front of him. She stared intently for several minutes, arms crossed over her magic council uniform, a pink skirt covered her bottom. The navy blue exceed leaned her head to the side before finally saying. “ [b]Y[/b]ou haven't really changed much. Your hair is a bit darker and you look younger, I think that's because of your haircut though. Did the council give you that scent masking agent and magical amplifier?” she asked curiously. 

	[b]S[/b]able looked away towards the window, disdain clearly furrowing his brows. [color=red] “[b]F[/b]uck that,”[/color] he said softly. [color=red] “I didn't want the amplifier but I did take the masking agent. Dragon Slayers are sure to be at the GMG.”[/color] Though he meant it as a whole, he was thinking specifically of two. Cyn and Aiden. Those two would sniff him out if no one else would. [color=red] “Wouldn – won't one of them discovering me.”[/color] He winced from a gut-wrench jump. 

	“ [b]S[/b]orry sir,” The lighthearted Driver mumbled. 

	[b]R[/b]ush patted the man's leather headrest. “ [b]T[/b]is okay, Sable-Sable is just excited is all. His stomach is extra sensitive.”

	[b]S[/b]able laid his head against the leather and gazed out the window. Rush was right. He was excited to crush his friends with his new strength. To discovered just what that vision meant and to unveil his plans at the GMG. It was a “fools errand” was the words of the others. But he was determined to make it happened. 

The scenery whizzed by quickly and he couldn't help but feel another twist in his intestines. [color=red][i][b]J[/b]ust a few more hours. I can take this![/i][/color]
